First of all, huge thank-you to people who tweeted - I fell asleep on my laptop and missed some parts from the first half and all of the latter half, which I've been really sad about all day today... (>_<) My time is always the worst to virtually join conferences held in EST time - it was 10:30 pm - 7:00 am yesterday - and thus, I'M COMING TO NEW YORK to attend the December WinS meeting in person next month! Hope to see as many people that I share the similar interests and passion with as possible. Give me a shout if you'll be around, too!
